Just to say I left gentoo some month ago and I'm not fully but quite happy using Arch now and will stick to this....

Lurking around at the archlinux site it seems they are definitely worth to get a closer look...

To which other distros do other users/dev tend to leave to? Is there any mainstream - is it archlinux?

Stumbled about this post lurking around what "other" distro is worth to check...

Interesting... From my experience, more often than not, I get mentioned in the ChangeLog just for reporting a bug.

In my memories I've reported several dozens of issues in bugzilla and contributed to many more (incl. ebuilds) - I can't remember about a mention in the change log aside from a link ...

This issue is still valid. For the many years I use gentoo this is repetitive thing I remember. I had trouble with encrypted file systems running gentoo so often - Every time it hit me suddenly without any warning while doing an update or after the next reboot. Not nice at all.

That said, I'm also ...

Could you please check check what fonts do you have installed (f.i. by emerging "emerge -s '@font'")? And also which flash and swf libs?

Thx a ot, are you also using a amd64 profile? Browser is ff3 as I wrote above, it's 3.5.5 exactly but happened with earlier releases also...

This is what it looks like:

*invalid*

Thx a lot! The most important site for me is a one where you need a registration. Unfortunately I did not manage to get some support from the developers over there. As long as I've seen this on other sites as well it might be a general issue on my side.

If you really want to test it, try this:

The flash thing seems to be the official adobe-flash, this is what is installed right now:


# eix flash
* app-cdr/binflash
Available versions: (~)1.46a!f!s
Homepage: http://binflash.cdfreaks.com
Description: Tool to flash DVD burner with a binary firmware file

* app-emacs/flashcard
Available ...

Hm, are there alternatives in using different plugins? Maybe I've to check this.

Right now, ff shows "Shockwave Flash 10.0.r42" in the Add-ons screen. There is also this nspluginwrapper/NPAPI in Version 1.2.2 listet as active which might be neccesary?

Thx for having a look at this...

When browsing the web I sometimes encounter sites using flash where obviously objects are missing. It's not just text, also frames and whole (text) boxes, not sure about graphics as long I can see some of them (but no text at all). I checked the X11 font howto and tried several other things, any ...

Thx Mike, but there is no change using the minimal config with ati or fglrx.

Any other hint?

Any Idea?

Yes, sorry

Are you using KDM?

No. Neither xdm, gdm or anything else...

Sorry. I'm the only one having this issue? Thought this similar to the disabled CTRL-ALT-BKSP.

Here we go:


Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Main Layout"
Screen 0 "Screen 1" 0 0
InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Logitech_Mouse" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Touchpad2 ...

Don't know since when, but changing my resolution by pressing CTRL ALT +/- is not working anymore. Changing by using xrandr works.

Any ideas?
TIA

Ich schwöre auf Reiser(3)FS, da hatte ich im Gegensatz zu ext2 früher noch nie einen Datenverlust. In ganz hartknäckigen Fällen baut man eben den Baum neu, dauert dann evtl. ein paar Stunden aber die Daten sind sicher wieder da. Mit Reiser4 habe ich keine Erfahrung.

Sicher doch, deswegen steht es hier . Es gibt aber auch noch etwas jeos, das liegt aber eher am nicht ganz runden Administrationskonzept das man ja ändern könnte

Can someone please verify if this HowTo is working for current installations at all?
I just can not make it...

What config entries do I have to add to my vhost confs?
Where is the datadir?

Thx a lot!

Solved, seemes I had a wrong entry in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. This is the current one and I'm writing this using wireless LAN:

toral ~ # cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

# PCI Device: 0x8086:0x4222 (ipw3945)
#SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:13 ...

So, what is wrong here? After migrating from a working ipw3945 config (with older kernel) I just can't get it to work:


toral ~ # uname -a

toral ~ # dmesg |grep ...

So what is the problem using a current version of qscintilla? Any help to get this to work?
